Presidential Debate 2024: Kamala vs. Trump

Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at 6:45 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
Kamala and Trump's big debate night with Biden hovering in background

Kamala will win Last Wednesday, I published “Kamala Harris Knows How to Debate. So Stop the Chauvinistic Advice.” I always heed my own advice and am convinced that, by any objective criteria, Kamala will defeat Trump easily. Indeed, Trump is running scared. He knows he can’t articulate coherent policies to save his life. That’s why… Read more.

Jan. 6 Hearing, Like Insurrection Porn, Failed to Arouse…

Jan 6 Committee hearing on insurrection

Truth be told, as I watched last night’s Jan. 6 hearing, I felt like a porn addict waiting for some tidbit of information or video clip to come along and arouse my interest. It never came. Hell, even that “damning exchange” between Liz Cheney and Ivanka Trump didn’t get a rise out of me… This… Read more.

For Sen. Ted Cruz, There Must Be Pride in Having None…

Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 8:07 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Never before in the history of American politics has a politician seem to revel in debasing himself quite like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas does. My commentary “Lyin’ Ted Cruz Is Even Worse Than Trump Said,” February 20, 2021, probably said it all. But I’d be remiss not to comment on this: Senator Ted Cruz… Read more.

Jan. 6, the New ‘Lost Cause’ Millions Seem Willing to Die For…

Thursday, January 6, 2022 at 6:27 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Many Americans are marking this first anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection by making much ado about the 725 arrests the FBI has made. Except this is rather like passengers making much ado about the many buckets of water the crew were bailing from the Titanic … No doubt, given those arrests, Americans should be… Read more.

Observing MLK Day

Monday, January 18, 2021 at 6:39 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, he would marvel at America’s schizophrenic march towards the Promised Land of his famous dream. After all, America elected its first Black man as president in 2008; elected its first Black woman as vice president in 2020; and, even closer to his home and heart, elected… Read more.

WTF: Trump-Led Insurrection Against US Expanding to All 50 State Capitols…?

Starting this week and running through at least Inauguration Day, armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols and at the U.S. Capitol, according to an internal FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News. The FBI has also received information in recent days on a group calling for ‘storming’ state, local and federal government… Read more.

Written by Anthony L. Hall
MAGA insurrectionists storming the capital with image of Trump at Jan 6 rally and image of noose and gallows inset.

President Trump reportedly thought his MAGA insurrectionists looked too much like a motley crew of rowdy rednecks. He was pissed. He wanted them to look more organized and uniform, you know, like Hitler’s Brownshirts (aka Storm Troopers). Trump’s disdain for his Rednecks  Never before in the history of politics has a leader shown such overt disdain for… Read more.

MAGA Madness: Trump Incites Riotous Assault on US Capitol…

Thursday, January 7, 2021 at 6:57 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

The world watched with dismay as a surreal scene at the U.S. Capitol, like little else seen in its history, unfolded on Wednesday. Protesters loyal to President Trump burst through police barricades and mobbed the building, disrupting at the 11th hour a vote to formalize Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. Shortly before the breach, Vice… Read more.
